Asus unveiled its new range of Vivobook laptops at Computex 2026: the transforming Asus Vivobook S14 Flip and S16 Flip, and the more conventional Vivobook S14 and S16.
Both models are powered exclusively by the Snapdragon X platform and can deliver up to 45 TOPS NPU performance. This translates to lightning-fast responsiveness, intelligent AI acceleration, and excellent power efficiency.
The new Asus Vivobook range sports gorgeous, professional-grade OLED displays, which also have TĂV Rheinland-certified low blue light technology to protect your eyes during long productivity sessions.
The Asus Vivobook S14 and S16 come in Light Blue and Matte Gray, and feature a slim, all-metal chassis. A full set of I/O ports and a promised 25 hours of battery life mean they should give you enough power when youâre working away from a power plug or using them for entertainment.
The Asus Vivobook S14 Flip and S16 Flip offer a few more unique features aimed at creatives. You can prop the Vivobook Flip in tent mode, stand mode, use it as a tablet, or simply as a standard laptop. It has Asus Pen 3.0 support, allowing you to write, sketch, and take notes.
Battery life takes a slight hit on the S14 Flip and S16 Flip, with Asus promising around 20 hours. However, with fast charging support and a compact 68W USB-C charging, itâs easy to rectify.
Like the Asus Vivobook S14/S16, the Flip model also features a premium all-metal finish and was noticeably lightweight when I put the laptop in its different orientations. Pricing wasnât finalized when we spoke to an Asus representative, but expect it to cost between $899 and $1,200 based on previous models.
